<DIV></DIV><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Hello to everyone on the GSBN,<BR><BR>I've replied
directly to Andy about his subscription offline...but thought you all might like
an update on TLS and my efforts to resume publication, so here
'tis.<BR><BR>Rumors of my demise and the demise of TLS are just not true. There
was just a delay. I have returned to work full time after two years of health
problems including two hospitalizations - and nearly a year to recuperate. I
continue to push forward personally and professionally and am trying very hard
to get TLS back on schedule, moving ahead and prospering while keeping myself
healthy and productive.<BR><BR>One issue of TLS has been published since I've
resumed work - TLS#59 - it currently available in pdf format only (the print
copy will come along as TLS' cash flow resumes). <B>I can convert the remaining
issues of your current subscription over to the pdf format so that you
receive all the issues you have paid for. You just have to let me know that you
want to receive the pdf version and I'll take care of the process for
you.<BR></B><BR>Once the subscription is converted by me through the online
ordering system, you will receive notice of a password for each individual issue
as it becomes available. For example, If you send me an email telling me you
want to reume with the pdf of #59, within a few days you will receive the
password for this pdf issue and instructions about how to access it through the
TLS online ordering system on the web site.<BR><BR>And you will immediately
receive an email from me telling you the online order account password (not the
same as issue password) that I have set up for you (you can change this account
password later if you want to). The account password should be written down so
that you can use it to renew your subscription or order back issues in the
future.<BR><BR>The pdf version of issues #41 through current issue all have
color photos, when available. I think the color photos make a real difference,
and would include them in the print version as well - but it's too costly, so
they'll only be available in the pdf versions. <U>The pdf version includes
exactly the same content as the print versions.</U> You can save the pdf to your
computer or a CD or DVD, and may print out a page, an article or the entire
issue for your personal use (TLS is copyrighted). The pdf version saves time and
paper, and costs less as there is no printing and mailing involved.<BR><BR>I am
currently working on TLS#60/Details, #61/Women in Strawbale & Natural
Building, #62/Putting a Project Together, and #63/Commercial & Industrial
Buildings. If you have any articles, tech tips, project pages, news, book
reviews, product information or any other contributions for any of these issues,
please send it to me as soon as you can. <U>I’m not currently working on any
deadline or schedule as I’m trying to get these issues prepared and available in
pdf format as quickly as I can.</U> So if you have anything for #60, send
it right away as I’m nearly done with the preliminary layout, and am working on
all of the other issues mentioned.
<BR><BR>I'm
also working on an update to the TLS resource guide - don't know when it will be
released as yet - but wanted to let you know it's in the works. If you have any
contributions to make to the guide, please send them, too. The resource guide
categories are listed on the TLS web site and will remain pretty much the same.
I'm trying to check and update each entry and add new ones - so now's your
chance to help with this process.<BR><BR>And news is forthcoming about an
exciting new feature being added to the TLS web site!<BR><BR>That's enough for
now. If you want to communicate with me or send content for TLS at any time,
just send an email to the TLS email address:
<thelaststraw@thelaststraw.org><BR><BR>Thanks to those of you who
expressed concern and sent kind words of caring and support. It's deeply
appreciated! <BR><BR>Joyce<BR>--------------- <BR>Joyce Coppinger<BR>Managing
